As promised to some, here are a few pics of my new 29 gallon tank. The clownfish in the pic has passed, and the feather duster in the center of the tank became crab food all ready. The tank has been up and running since March. Tom

Who knows? He definitely wasn't anywhere near his tube this morning, that is for sure. I found his crown on the other side of the tank and his carcas was nowhere to be found. Either he managed to crawl to safety somewhere or the sally took care of him like he did the other feather duster I...

Well, he ejected overnight and became crab food . Damn, those crabs eat good...first a $15 clown fish, now a $12 feather duster...must be nice to live in my tank... Tom

Originally Posted by puffer32 Mine threw his crown, but stayed in his tube, grew a new crown in afew weeks, are you sure yours is out completely or is it just his crown? It's hanging, crown and all, about half way out of it's tube. When I went in to move him he did not even try to go back into...

Hey all! I've got a new issue that I may need some help with. I've seen several posts on here saying feather dusters jumping ship can be a good thing or it could be a bad thing, and I do not know which way to look at it right now. The issue I have is protecting him once he parachutes out. I...

I'll put up some pics soon. Considering I live in the Dallas/Fort Worth area, I don't think the little LFSs here add too much to the local economy. In addition, if I have to choose between the local economy and my own economics, I choose my own economics! By ordering online I saved around $100...

Well, the clownfish became crab food. Found my sally lightfoot hiding in the rocks grasping the remnants of Nemo's corpse for dear life. Doubtful I would be able to get the corpse from the crab without pulling apart all of my rockwork, so I'll let him have the $15 treat. From the look of it...

My sally has molted twice. Once there were just crab pieces all over the tank, but the second time there was a full shell upside down in one of the caves in my rock. I freaked out and went in to get the "dead crab" out, and as I reached in I noticed the sally on the other side of the tank...

Update...I started the feeding with food soaked in garlic...they seem to like it. I see no visible signs of Ich on anyone anymore, but I'm still going to fight it. Though I know no one on this site really believes those Ich cures are worth a crap, I bought one and am trying it very carefully...

Jer4916...I don't have a quarantine tank, nor do I have the time to set one up (to really help this batch of fish, anyway) and cycle it...herein lies the problem. If I had one, believe me I would use it!! ScubaDoo...my testing kit (if you want to really trust it) shows nitrite levels are in the...

Originally Posted by Beth Sorry to say but the only viable treatments are hyposalinity or copper. Do you have LR, inverts? Start offering the fish heavy feedings of food soaked in freshly minced garlic. I do have live rock and inverts...see #4 above. I'll try the freshly minced garlic and...

I am new to the salt water adventure and I am all ready starting to get discouraged. Here is the situation, per the guidlines: 1. State the problem - ich outbreak in my tank...so far three fish have white spots...one perc. clown and two black mollies (used them to cycle the tank) 2. List...

I got the Current USA Satellite with the mounting feet to get it off of the top of the tank, as well as a timer for 24hour lighting. Definitely very cool :happyfish Tom

Sorry for the blurry photo...can't seem ot get a clear pic. It's a light green ball or bubble attached to my LR in the center of the pic. It has gotten bigger since I got the LR and it has started to show lines under the surface of the bubble. I'm curious to see what it is and what will...

I just got my light kit and all I can say is WOW!! What a difference! The fish have definitely taken well to the new light...when the lights come on the fish really come to life!! Thanks for all of the help. Now I just need to give it a little more time and then we'll be ready to start with...

Thanks for the help guys. I'm going to order one soon. It's amazing how the stores here charge over $200 for a light kit I can get on line for about $120! Gotta love price gouging!! Tom

Hello all! I just joined up today and was reading many of the posts here for some advice. Obviously, nothing is specific to my situation, so I though I'd ask for opinions. I have a 29 gallon tank (30' wide x 18" tall x 12" deep) with about 50# live rock, 20# live sand, and a few fish...
